CNN Panelist: Trump ‘Has Radicalized So Many More People Than ISIS’

FREE BEACON:

CNN panelist Julia Ioffe said Monday President Donald Trump has radicalized more people than the Islamic State terrorist group, also known as ISIS.

In the wake of the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Ioffe lambasted Jewish people for supporting Trump’s decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to its capital, Jerusalem, and also told non-Jewish people to “shut up.” On CNN’s “The Lead” with Jake Tapper, Ioffe took it even further.

“This president has radicalized so many more people than ISIS ever did,” Ioffe said.

“It’s unconscionable for you to say that,” commentator David Urban told Ioffe.

Ioffe defended the comment by saying Trump “winks and nods” to white nationalists.

Urban was astounded Tapper did not push back on Ioffe’s claim.

“For you not to push back on that—for her to say, the president of the United States has radicalized more people than ISIS is irresponsible,” Urban said.
